Cairo was born on 17 August 2006 weighing a healthy 6 lbs exactly. He was born with a heart
condition called Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome, which means that only the right side of his heart
had developed completely during pregnancy. This is a very rare condition but since his diagnosis
when I was 23 weeks pregnant, we have met and spoken to many parents whose children have the same
condition.
This condition means that you have the following three options for your unborn child.
1 - Termination
2 - Let them be born and pass away naturally within a few days after birth.
3 - Three stage surgery.
We opted for choice 3 which meant he had to have three surgeries more than likely before he was 3 or
4, the first taking place during the first week of a child’s life. The second when he would have
been about six months old and the third when he was about two or three. Finally, he would have had
to have a heart transplant when he reached his teens. His first stage operation (Fontan) took
place when he was five days old. It was a successful operation, but sadly he passed away the
following day as his poor little heart just could not take it any more. Cairo has other brothers
and sisters whom miss him dearly and we speak about him everyday. His pictures are everywhere in
the house.
Just like our other children, he is the most precious person in our lives.
We will miss you forever and always Cairo, but we know that you are at peace now. Mummy xxxxxx
As I look up to the skies above,
The stars stretch endlessly--
But somehow all those rays of light
Seem dimmer now to me.
As I watch the morning sun appear,
The shadows still don't fade—
As if the brightest light of all
Was somehow swept away.
Though I see the branches swaying,
And watch their dancing leaves--
The echoes carried on the wind
Don't sound the same to me.
As I listen to the morning birds
Sing softly from afar--
It seems to be a mournful tune
That echoes in my heart.
Another day has come again,
As time moves surely on--
But nothing now seems quite the same,
To know that he is gone.
The days and weeks and months ahead
Will never be the same--
Because a treasure beyond words
Can never be replaced.
The loss cannot be measured now,
The void cannot be filled--
And though someday the grief may fade,
His mark will live on still.
For even with my heavy heart,
I know that I've been blessed
To have been one who's life he touched
With warmth so infinite.
Sending my love as always.xxxx

"Give Me Peace" By Lea Dyer Snow
Lord, in this hour I need you, more than words could ever tell.
I feel as if I'm stranded on shores between heaven and hell...
I know you haven't left me, yet my heart feels void of hope.
I feel as if I'm hanging on an old and thread worn rope...
I feel as if my hearts been torn from the breast from which it came.
And sunshine will no longer fill my life, only clouds of darkness and rain...
I know this will pass,
and you will be there to give me comfort and strength and hope.
But until then I can't help the feeling that I'm down to that last thread of rope...
If it breaks, you'll be there to catch me, and raise me back to my feet...
But for now my world is in turmoil, and the essence of life is not sweet...
Give me power to overcome my oppression, and let sunshine back on my face.
Let your spirit overwhelm my cold dark heart,
and let me bask in your warmth giving grace...
Give rest to my tempest of yearning, and faith to my sore lacking soul.
Let me again laugh with my family. Rescue me from this pit in Sheol.
With praise I do worship your blessings, with humility, I ask my release.
From this den of despair I ask mercy...show favour on me...give me peace.
LOVE JUDE. X

AN ANGEL WONDERS.
☆ * ☆ * ☆ * ☆ *☆ * ☆ * .☆ * ☆ * ☆ * ☆ *☆ * ☆
You come and stand before my stone
And seek a sign you’re not alone,
That I haven’t left your side and flown
into the endless sky.
☆ * ☆ * ☆ * ☆ *☆ * ☆ * .☆ * ☆ * ☆ * ☆ *☆ * ☆
But when the sun shines warm and bright,
And embraces all with burning light,
And the moon rests lonely, out of sight
Do you doubt that night exists?
☆ * ☆ * ☆ * ☆ *☆ * ☆ * .☆ * ☆ * ☆ * ☆ *☆ * ☆
Or when you’re walking in a country scene
A patchwork quilt of varied green,
Of hedge and field, so calm, serene
Do you doubt the sea roars loud?
☆ * ☆ * ☆ * ☆ *☆ * ☆ * .☆ * ☆ * ☆ * ☆ *☆ * ☆
And when you see the flowers dance
A gentle waltz in summer trance
Though you cannot see what makes them prance
Do you doubt the wind blows strong?
☆ * ☆ * ☆ * ☆ *☆ * ☆ * .☆ * ☆ * ☆ * ☆ *☆ * ☆
So why is it, you doubt I’m near
And long for signs to ease your fear
That I have flown this mortal sphere
And won’t return to you?
☆ * ☆ * ☆ * ☆ *☆ * ☆ * .☆ * ☆ * ☆ * ☆ *☆ * ☆
It’s true that though I’m out of sight,
I’m with you every day and night,
Your thoughts hold onto me so tight
I’m anchored to your soul.
☆ * ☆ * ☆ * ☆ *☆ * ☆ * .☆ * ☆ * ☆ * ☆ *☆ * ☆
And when you laugh, I fly up high
A kite that soars into the sky
But when you lie in bed and cry
It’s me that wipes your tears.
☆ * ☆ * ☆ * ☆ *☆ * ☆ * .☆ * ☆ * ☆ * ☆ *☆ * ☆
The signs you seek, you do not need
I am in you; I’ll never leave,
Your life goes on, you mustn’t grieve
Because this angel’s flying high.
☆ * ☆ * ☆ * ☆ *☆ * ☆ * .☆ * ☆ * ☆ * ☆ *☆ * ☆

WISH UPON A STAR
If I could wish upon a star..
I would wish to see my loved one from afar
For I see my loved one twinkling at night
And oh it's such a beautiful sight.
The star it glows with love and care
And no other star in the sky can compare
You shine down on your family at night with love
You were a beautiful gift to me from heaven above.
Your beauty glows and shines so bright
And you keep shining until morning light
You are shining now in heaven above
Please my little star keep shining down on me..
With lots of love, Jude. x

~~~~ Two Twinkling Stars ~~~~
I looked up to the sky last night
and saw two twinkling stars,
I thought about the distance
of Jupiter and Mars.
I thought how far was heaven
was it further than these two
I wondered just how far it was
to Gods garden and to you.
I know one day I'll find out
just how far I'll need to travel
I know that God one day for me
this mystery will unravel
Until that day I'll miss you
every hour that I live through
I'll miss you till the day
comes when I'll finally be with you.

★ Favourite Star of Mine. ★
Far above in that sky,
Is a small star of mine,
Star where life exists,
That star shines brighter then light.
★
It is the star of fascination for me,
It is the star of my fantasy,
It is the star of my dreams,
It is the star that belongs to me.
★
A star that is all alone,
A star that is full of love,
A star where I have to reach,
A star of my dreams.
★
It is the star that lies beyond the sun,
It is the star of ultimate truth,
It is star of love and peace,
It is star where my soul lives.
★
It is the one to call me,
It is the one to attract me,
It is the one I’ll love to see,
It is the one I have to reach.
★
LOVE JUDE. X X
